Diet and Lifestyle

Welcome to the first science that understands you as a biochemical individual. Following decades of ongoing research and clinical work, Dr. D'Adamo created The Blood Type Diets, a way of eating and living that has transformed the health of millions.

His first book, the New York Times best-seller Eat Right 4 Your Type started a health revolution over ten years later that continues ever-stronger. With more than 5 million copies in print in over 50 languages, Eat Right 4 Your Type celebrates its 20th year as an unprecedented non-stop bestseller in hardcover, and was named as one of the ten most important health books ever written by respected health publishing analysts.

3 out of 4.

Appear to be the odds that your health will improve by following the right diet for your blood type. The facts are clearcut: In the 6617 individuals who reported their results from following the Blood Type Diet® for a period of one month or more, three out of four (71-78%) had significant improvement in a variety of health conditions. Weight loss was the effect most often observed but a number of reports detailed improvements in digestive function, resistance to stress, overall energy and mental clarity.

The percentages (71-78%) of visitors reporting positive results are consistent across all the blood types. Type O (following a higher protein lower-carb diet) appeared as likely to report positive results as Type A (following a lower fat, plant-based diet) or types B and AB (following a more omnivorous diet.)

The results certainly appear to question many of the standardized one size fits all diets advanced by the diet gurus, governments and agribusiness.

Genetic testing and personalized diets are now quite popular and perhaps nutrition science is catching up with The Blood Type Diet. That's O.K. --we're old hands at it. Dr. D'Adamo's work builds upon theory advanced by his father almost a half-century ago.

5 out of 25.

Perhaps that is why on average of five out of the 25 bestselling health books on amazon.com are books written by Dr. Peter D'Adamo, including the #1 bestseller in the category. His books have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and his works have been translated into over sixty-five languages.

Dr. D'Adamo's books remain popular bestsellers because the recommendations contained inside them work --most people who eat right for their type feel better. Word of mouth and individual success stories often do the rest.

Stop Inflammaging.

'Inflammaging' is defined as ageing-associated chronic inflammation that results from combined genetic, epigenetic and metabolic dysfunction in different cell types and organs. Increasing evidence is linking this chronic inflammation to certain lectin-containing foods. These lectins are proteins that interact with hormones and tissues in ways often predictable by one's blood type.

Over several decades, researchers have identified over 1,000 common foods that contain powerful proteins called lectins. Here's the key: These food lectins become active and important for you when they interact with your blood type.

For example, after consuming any number of foods containing wheat, both blood types O and A can experience bloating and other digestive problems. This may be more than a simple "food intolerance." The walls of the stomach and intestines are lined with sensitive receptors that interact with, and respond to, the lectin in wheat. At first, you may only experience that wheat lectin interaction as a mild digestive problem, or a dull, listless feeling after consuming foods not right for you.

Over time, the result is a steadily deteriorating state of health, loss of energy and weight gain.

The good news is, by removing these targeted foods and replacing them with foods more suitable for your blood type, you begin to experience the benefits of a leaner, cleaner, more energetic body.

It's easy to overlook a common source of dietary lectins: So-called "low calorie" diet foods and other snack foods. Take a new look at the snacks or diet drinks and powders you may be using right now. Do any of them contain any of the foodstuffs that are harmful to your blood type, or have lectins known to lead to inflammation and weight gain?

Consider replacing these with blood-type friendly Dr. D'Adamo-designed snack bars, protein drinks, and teas. Not only are these foods easier on your system --but they can have an immediate impact on your body's lectin chain-reactions. 

Look at your diet. Don't try to change your entire life in one weekend. After looking over the key weight-gaining foods for your blood type, consider replacing at least two of them with other foods that may be neutral or even beneficial for your type.

Example for Types O and A: Replace wheat breads and pastas with better-tolerated and neutral Spelt breads and pastas. Ideally, until you reach your preferred state of health and weight, you'll want to consume less of these grains, and add more quality meats and vegetables. However, removing the gluten is a huge step in the right direction. 

Example for Types B and AB: Replace corn muffins and taco shells with and pastas with better-tolerated and neutral Spelt breads and pastas. Ideally, until you reach your preferred state of health and weight, you'll want to consume less of these grains, and add more quality meats and vegetables. 

Genuine weight loss and genuine, lasting health comes from considering how your body interacts with the foods and beverages you consume. Dr. D'Adamo's pioneering and on-going research confirms that your blood type is the single most important determinant in how your body interacts with the foods you eat and whether those foods cause inflammation, digestive problems, or weight gain for you. 

Over 80% of Americans are either type O or A. Wheat and corn by-products are two of the key weight-gaining foods for blood types O and A. Amazingly, most popular "low calorie" diet bars and shakes contain whey and corn-derived ingredients which for blood type O:

• Inflames your digestive tract lining and interferes with your digestive process, causing bloating
• Slows down the rate of food metabolism, so you don't efficiently burn calories for energy
• Compromises your production of insulin.
• Upsets your hormonal balance, causing water retention, thyroid disorders and other problems

By simply replacing the key weight-gaining foods in your diet, you can begin not only helping your body lose weight, but also gain more energy.
